The saying goes, sunk costs are sunk unless you sunk them. But for founders, the way to split equity is to focus on what each will do not what has been done. The present value of the company is basically zero so it's hard to claim much

I totally agree with the premise. What is the market share of Outlook? Outlook sucks. I stopped using it a few days ago and feel like a crack addict who just kicked the habit. I can think clearly now!
